Richards expressed his thanks to all the candidates.

"We owe just as much to those whose campaigns were not successful," said Richards. "Their willingness to compete and serve the association is its ultimate source of thanks. All members owe them a debt of gratitude."

This was the third year NAID conducted an electronic vote, which allowed for a more convenient and easy balloting process. In the past, hard copy ballots were distributed, collected and counted at the annual NAID conference every year.
